Fantastic! If you do put the badge back on, choose a smaller one from the MX5 or something like that.

Damn that looks so tight. As much as I like going stealth, that is just too sharp. It looks not bad with the stock rims, but swap those out for some others and wow...

Are the oil coolers covered still? It looks like adding the fog light holders has made you loose the grill cover on the right and left...

WOW! very nice!. now it makes me feel like getting a blue one instead of yellow. lol. IMO, you should leave the badge off if you want to go for the clean look. but it'll still look as good if you put it back on, its up to u. anyways, nice car.

Thanks guys,
the fog lights have kept the grill, so the coolers are still covered so no issues there.
tempted with rims, but to be honest really like the stock one, polished rims not very popular over here - don't have the weather to show them off

Get the chrome gas cover. That would kind of add an exclamation point to your car.

Looks real nice!

Anthony: Since you told us how much you paid for the kit and install, I had a small question. Did they give you, your original front bumper to you seeing as you sourced your own parts, or did they take off some of the price so they could have a spare in the shop? Just curious.

I too wonder what to do with the old bumpers. Sell it on ebay? Will anyone buy it?

A guy in the UK is having blue inserts done for the leather seats, will see what that looks like as I am tempted with that.
But the next big thing will be if Mazdaspeed bring out a turbo or supercharger conversion. Would like a bit more power :D

Yes got all the parts back, so that is front bumper, rear fog light and rear lip spoiler.
The rear bumper does not come off, the Mazdaspeed part is an add on like the side skirts.
Still have not decided what to do with the parts, but selling is definitely an option as they are in mint condition as the car has not been driven yet.

Any offers? I don't think the rear lip spoiler is available in the States?

I did but I have under estimated, incl fitting it has come to nearer to $5,000 to $5,500 USD. Sorry my maths and exchange rates were well out
